[@CHEYWOODB]

Dave Thomas is amazing. Bob Hope and Richard Harris-I could watch him all day.

[@1985malibuexpress]

High pitch skit is wonderful.

Wikkid! Wish I was there!

Joe Flaherty R.I.P.

Best talent ensemble the past 40 years ...gold 🥇

[@johnsheehan3802]

The old commercial clips are fantastic

[@CoCotheTurtle]

The real commercials are just as funny as the SCTV parodies!

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

Neil Young skit bloody nails it - will never listen to Needle and Damage Done again the same way haha

[@canaisyoung3601]

Yeah, especially when Rick Moranis' take makes Neil Young sound like Mickey Mouse with clinical depression.

[@billblakey5656]

Real funny and good job from Canada!!!👍😁👏

[@pebobryson]

Who threw that brick 😂

[@1985malibuexpress]

Dave Thomas rocks!

[@bufnyfan1]

I love it when Mel asks Shelton Resnick (20:33) that he seems kind of old to be going to Central Tech--and Shelton says "I'm 32"--are you taking a night course? No I'm just trying to meet some girls" LOL

[@charleswinokoor6023]

I always liked the synthesizer intro to The SCTV News. serious stuff

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Andrei Gromyko looks like Glenn Ford

[@jamescarter3196]

It's got that combination of austerity and alertness which is reminiscent of BBC in that era

[@Rutoenfit]

Hey, baby, what's happening?

[@olliefoxx7165]

Thank you very much.

[@metall1983]

Oh man that's one of there best skits ever the Richard Harris song still makes me laugh 😂

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

Now I've got to look up a live version of the actual Harris song to see what he does in the instrumental part.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@noneofyourbusiness4616 He gets a brick thrown at him!

[@CanuckFluter]

This music HAS to be cleared for DVD/Blu-ray release!

[@1985malibuexpress]

"Richard Harris" bit is better than the actual "Richard Harris!"

[@bittmanbobby]

I love that Americans got to enjoy this show too

[@canaisyoung3601]

Only because SNL was in a low point in the early 1980s and not everyone liked "Fridays".

[@bittmanbobby]

@@canaisyoung3601 I wonder if they liked Thursdays more than Fridays 😄

[@canaisyoung3601]

@@bittmanbobby Eh.

[@DDDMartin6189]

As an American I can say, ME TOO! 😃

[@carlwhite4197]

Thanks, Canada.

[@ac9559]

Thank you for posting these. I have everything I can get on DVD which is not nearly enough! Seeing full episodes I watched as a kid and have not seen in a long long time is quite a treat.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Not to mention that cutie in the red top.

[@deandrep4380]

Like Soul Train

[@1985malibuexpress]

Dave Thomas & Rick Moranis deserve more credit for their humor & contribution to entertainment in general. I saw SCTV periodically as a kid, but I don't know that it had a regular broadcast in the U.S. Maybe I was just too busy being a kid to know.

[@jamescarter3196]

It didn't get aired everywhere. I think I saw a few bits of it randomly on NBC when that version of it was happening, but it went off the air before I could find out what it was, and didn't really get to watch it until 1988 when this edition of the show was airing on Nick at Nite in a block with early SNL and Laugh-in.

[@JiuliaD]

This show has been a crock lol!! Love SCTV ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Neil's 'luded up!

[@1985malibuexpress]

I watch this video at least once a week for laughs.

[@naturalobserver1322]

Every time I hear McArthur Park I think of the old Lou Gorden show out of Detroit back in the 70s. That was their theme song. 🎵

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

OMG That's Idela Voudry on girl vocal!

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Canton, Ohio was home to Hoover vacuum cleaners, until the Chinese took over everything.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Is West Palm Beach a suburb of Melonville?

[@VHScape]

Yes, definitely!

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

It borders on Lake Ontario and Lake Couchiching

[@MichaelKurse]

Jackie Stewart used to do color commentary for racing by saying things like: He's taking the shecain!! and the drivers are sucking each other around the track!!!😆😆😆

[@jamesconsiglio2709]

I love the pause by Eugene And I'm Earl ...cannenbear lol I know I spelled it wrong but he's a true genius and also joe flarety they were there from day 1

[@ericferguson9989]

The Soviet troops "vacationing" in Yemen sounds just like something the Russians would pull today.

[@olliefoxx7165]

American troops have been vacationing in Germany, Poland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, etc etc etc...

[@ericferguson9989]

@@olliefoxx7165 It's true they cause a lot of problems.

[@MarkMcCluney]

Is the Trim Track still available?

[@paulamiles9559]

Attempts to exercise without physical effort still alive and well!

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Is Entertainment Tonight still a thing? Mary Hart-,induced epileptic seizures were not fun.

[@1985malibuexpress]

Neal is nailing Daryl Hannah today in 2024.

[@jamesconsiglio2709]

I'm not sure what season it was but I remember they started having music guests like the tubes????
